Welcome to Invertebrate Zoology (Biol 2231)!
This course will examine the diversity of invertebrate organisms, focusing on major animal phyla (most of “the other 95%”). Topics under study will include the origin and evolution of diversity, the evolutionary relationships among invertebrate taxa, and the functional biology of invertebrates. To address these topics, this course will cover the anatomy, physiology, developmental biology, evolution, and ecology of the major phyla in both lecture and lab. Along the way you will develop an appreciation for the great diversity of invertebrate animals on this planet and their importance for the ecosystem and in our everyday lives.
